The Polish frigate General Tadeusz Kociuszko, completed in 1980 as the USS Wadsworth, arriving in the Tyne for Whitehill Point this afternoon.

And out again this morning.

Plenty of “Blue Label” spares for this vessel the Americans seem to have laid up or scrapped most of this Class.

Remarkable at 43 years old. They could 'do a Zeebrugge', fill her with explosives and set her on a suicide charge at that Kerch Bridge.
